Il nuovo studio del WWF, “Living Blue Planet<\/a>“, \u00e8 riassunto in un’immagine<\/a> e poche righe:<\/p>\n

This report provides the most accurate picture of the state of the ocean–and the results are not good. We have lost half the fish populations that we rely on in less than half a century. The findings spell trouble for all nations, but will especially impact people in the developing world who rely on seafood for their daily diets and economic livelihoods.<\/em>
\nWhile over-exploitation is identified as the major threat to ocean biodiversity, the study finds that climate change is causing the ocean to change more rapidly than at any other point in millions of years. Rising temperatures and increasing acidity levels caused by carbon dioxide aggravate the negative impacts of overfishing and other major threats including habitat degradation and pollution.<\/em><\/p>\n

Deprimente, ma conviene anche (ri)leggere quello<\/a><\/strong> uscito in febbraio, “Smart investments in ocean health, research and analysis”, alcuni investimenti sono astuti davvero.<\/p>\n

“Pi\u00f9 blu” perch\u00e9 continua a restringersi l’estensione minima della banchisa artica. Secondo il NSIC<\/a><\/p>\n

On September 11, 2015, sea ice extent dropped to 4.41 million square kilometers, the fourth lowest minimum in the satellite record. This appears to be\u00a0the lowest extent of the year.<\/em>
\n“Appare” perch\u00e9 il meteo potrebbe ridurlo ulteriormente, anche se di poco.
\nThe minimum extent was reached four days earlier than the 1981 to 2010 average minimum date of September 15. The extent\u00a0ranked behind 2012 (lowest), 2007 (second lowest), and 2011 (third lowest). Moreover,\u00a0the nine lowest extents in the satellite era\u00a0have all occurred in the last nine years.<\/em><\/p>\n

Da un ventennio, quando un neghista sostiene che gli scienziati truccano i dati e il riscaldamento globale \u00e8 una truffa, di solito qualcuno gli chiede “come mai BigOil & Coal, per le quali lavorano gli unici scienziati onesti, non pubblicano i dati che lo dimostrano?”<\/p>\n

Con una marea di documenti interni,\u00a0Inside Climate News<\/a><\/strong> pubblica la risposta della Exxon:<\/p>\n

“In the first place, there is general scientific agreement that the most likely manner in which mankind is influencing the global climate is through carbon dioxide release from the burning of fossil fuels,” senior company scientist James\u00a0Black<\/a>\u00a0told Exxon’s Management Committee, according to a written version he recorded later.<\/em>
\nIt was July 1977<\/strong> when Exxon’s leaders received this blunt assessment, well before most of the world had heard of the looming climate crisis…\u00a0<\/em>Exxon responded swiftly. Within months the company launched its own extraordinary research into carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and its impact on the earth. Exxon’s ambitious program included both empirical CO2<\/sub>\u00a0sampling and rigorous climate modeling. It assembled a brain trust that would spend more than a decade deepening the company’s understanding of an environmental problem that posed an existential threat to the oil business.<\/em>
\nThen, toward the end of the 1980s, Exxon curtailed its carbon dioxide research.\u00a0<\/em>
\nDopo la testimonianza di James Hansen al Congresso nel giugno 1988
\nExxon started financing efforts to amplify doubt about the state of climate science.<\/em>
\nExxon helped to found and lead the Global Climate Coalition, an alliance of some of the world’s largest companies seeking to halt government efforts to curb fossil fuel emissions. Exxon used the American Petroleum Institute, right-wing think tanks, campaign contributions and its own lobbying to push a narrative that climate science was too uncertain to necessitate cuts in fossil fuel emissions.<\/em>
\nAs the international community moved in 1997 to take a first step in curbing emissions with the Kyoto Protocol, Exxon’s chairman and CEO\u00a0Lee Raymond<\/a>\u00a0argued to stop it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nel gennaio 2014, l’editore Copernicus aveva chiuso<\/a> <\/strong>la rivista Pattern Recognition in Physics<\/em>\u00a0perch\u00e9 Nicola Scafetta et al. si erano comprati un numero speciale di climate crackpottery. Come ricorda<\/a><\/strong> il delizioso lagomorfo, Scafetta et al. avevano promesso di continuare a pubblicarla da soli entro la settimana successiva, sotto la direzione prima del potty peer Christopher Monckton e poi di Sid-Ali Ouadfeul<\/a>, un ricercatore dell’Ente petroli algerino, che pare averla seppellita definitivamente.<\/p>\n

Scafetta e Monckton, Ouadfeul non credo,\u00a0saranno ben accetti dall<\/span>‘accademia<\/a> sul modello Fucilla, appena fondata da un gruppetto di studiosi di psicologia, scienze socio-politiche e diritto, salvo Judith Curry, tutti di estrema destra, salvo Steven Pinker (gone a bit\u00a0<\/span>out of his depth<\/a><\/strong>): <\/span><\/p>\n

Our mission is to increase viewpoint diversity in the academy, with a special focus on the social sciences.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mission impossible stando al cv dei fondatori. Come J. Curry,\u00a0Jos\u00e9 Duarte <\/a><\/strong>combatte “l’ideologia” del consenso sul clima, Haidt et al. combattono “l’ideologia” del welfare, dei diritti umani per donne, emigrati, gays ecc. Da bravi provinciali, dividono pure<\/a><\/strong> gli psicologi sociali di tutto il mondo in Democratici e Repubblicani.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
